Gathering Configuration Information
Using the Local Parameter Worksheet
Local Parameter Worksheet Fields
The following information describes each field on the Local Parameter
Worksheet.
Subnetwork
Name
OTS uses a symbolic name you define to refer to
each subnetwork. Use a name that is meaningful
to you (for example, fddilan, site_8023, transpac).
Local NSAP This value defines the NSAP (network address)
that other systems on the network will use when
establishing connections to your system. The
value should be expressed as an even number of
hexadecimal digits.
Local Network
ID
This value is used in making routing decisions for
addresses that have not been explicitly
configured, and that do not broadcast End System
Hellos.
It is some initial set of digits of the NSAP that
form a prefix for all systems reachable over this
subnetwork. For example, if you have a Local
Network ID of 0x490001, then this subnetwork is
used for reaching the system with the address
0x490001223344 (assuming that no explicit
configuration for this address exists).
The use of this parameter is optional.
SubnetworkType Specify what network service and link type you
will use for this subnetwork.
